If Frappe HR is installed on your site, Raven can use its data. Raven can show who is on leave today, and it can create a channel for each department.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Show if a user is on leave | Shows people who are on leave today. |
| Create a channel for each department | Creates a channel for each new department, and adds the department's employees to it. |
| Department channel type | Whether department channels are Public or Private. |
| Choose workspaces based on companies | The workspace that gets the department channels of each company. |
The last two settings show only when Create a channel for each department is on.
Show who is on leave
Turn it on
- Open Settings and click Frappe HR.
- Turn on Show if a user is on leave.
- Click Save.
How Raven knows who is on leave
Raven checks attendance in Frappe HR. A person is on leave today when they have a submitted attendance record for today with the status On Leave. Frappe HR makes these records when a leave application is approved and submitted.
The employee record must have the person's user in its User ID field. A half day of leave does not count.
What people see
A palm tree shows on the photo of each person on leave today. Their profile card shows On Leave. Point to someone's name in a message to see their profile card.
On Leave also shows at the top of a direct message with that person.
When you mention someone who is on leave today, a note above the message box says so. You can still send the message.
Create a channel for each department
Turn it on
- Open Settings and click Frappe HR.
- Turn on Create a channel for each department.
- Under Department channel type, pick Public or Private.
- Under Choose workspaces based on companies, click Add.
- Pick a Company and the Workspace for its department channels.
- Add a row for each company that should get department channels.
- Click Save.
You can't save with this setting on until there is at least one company in the list.
What happens next
- When a department is created in Frappe HR, Raven creates a channel for it in the workspace of the department's company.
- The channel is named after the department, with hyphens in place of spaces.
- When an employee is created in a department, Raven adds them to the department's channel.
- When an employee moves to another department, Raven removes them from the old channel and adds them to the new one.
- When a department is deleted, its channel is deleted too.
- When an employee is deleted, they are removed from the channel.
Employees are only added if their record has a User ID and that user is in Raven.
